Julio Moizeszowicz is an Argentine psychiatrist. He was born (1943-05-25)May 25, 1943 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.^[1] He is the son of Polish immigrants who moved to Argentina before World War II.

Moizeszowicz's research aims to treat mental disorders such as psychosis, neurosis and depression by rebalancing the relationship between the body and mind through psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and treatment with psychoactive drugs. He uses drugs to address imbalances of neurotransmitters in the brain, preventing the formation or reinforcement of traumatic memories via neuronal plasticity after psychological trauma.^[2]

Moizeszowicz was a Resident Physician at the University of Buenos Aires Medical Clinic Research Institute from 1965 to 1968. He worked with the team that performed the first kidney transplants. He was also involved in the first Balint Society group for psychotherapists in Argentina.^[1]

In 1968, after completing his residency, he went to Germany to work on clinical drug development. He contributed to Phase I/II studies of a variety of drugs (such as the psychotropic agents nomifensine, etifoxine, clobazam and loprazolam, and the biologic drugs streptokinase and haemaccel) at the Pharmacologic and Medical Department of Hoechst AG, Behringwerke in Germany.^[1]

In 1973, he joined the National Neuropsychiatric Hospital José Tiburcio Borda in Buenos Aires. He obtained a specialty degree and certification as a psychiatrist. His thesis was entitled "Current status of the clinical evaluation of psychotropic drugs".^[3]

In 1983, as the result of an open scientific competition, he was appointed as an associate professor in the Mental Health Department at Buenos Aires Medical School. The jury included Horacio Etchegoyen, Mauricio Goldenberg and Dionisio Duarte. He held this position until 1994, teaching the application of evidence-based medicine to the neuro-psychopharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments of patients in the general hospital. From 1983 to 1989, he ran the seminars in psychoanalysis at the Psychoanalytic Association of Buenos Aires (ApdeBA, affiliated with the International Psychoanalytic Association).
